Speech forms a significant means of communication and the variation in pitch of a speech signal of a gender is commonly used to classify gender as male or female. In this study, we propose a system for gender classification from speech by combining hybrid model of 1-D Stationary Wavelet Transform (SWT) and artificial neural network. Features such as power spectral density, frequency, and amplitude of human voice samples were used to classify the gender. We use Daubechies wavelet transform at different levels for decomposition and reconstruction of the signal. The reconstructed signal is fed to artificial neural network using feed forward network for classification of gender. This study uses 400 voice samples of both the genders from Michigan University database which has been sampled at 16000 Hz. The experimental results show that the proposed method has more than 94% classification efficiency for both training and testing datasets.
